Happy #DigitalTuesday!
As you can see, we have a new look to the blog section of the FC Dallas website that we're launching in conjunction with #DigitalTuesday called Red Alert.
Anyone who knew me before I joined FC Dallas, knows that I got my start in the writing world by starting "Big D Soccer" a blog dedicated to FCD and ever since I became a full time contributor to the website I've been wanting to have a dedicated blog on FCDallas.com where the voice can be a little more casual. A place for the hardcore fan.
As happens in just about every line of work, it took a little while to get everything together, but today myself and FCDallas.com Managing Editor Scott Brown are extremely excited to launch Red Alert.
So how is this going to be different than what we have now? Expect a lot more updates from us, but in smaller bits. We're going to have links, analysis, pictures, polls, lots of social interaction and since it's called the Red Alert, you'll never miss a piece of FC Dallas content as I'll post links to every piece of FCDallas.com content on the Red Alert. Think of this as your FCD news stream keeping you updated on everything happening within the club.
I'm excited to see what this will turn into so thanks for reading and be sure to bookmark the Red Alert!
Feast your eyes on the first-ever FC Dallas Scarf of the Month. Pretty sweet, huh?
The Scarf of the Month line is a brand-new merchandise series for 2014, which will feature a unique, limited-edition scarf that will be released on the first of each month throughout the regular season. That's eight one-of-a-kind scarves you'll have a chance to own. But when we say "limited-edition," we do mean limited, so be sure to get yours early before they sell out.
March's scarf (right) has been dubbed "This is Our House." It was inspired by the super-secret, all-new 2014 FC Dallas Home Jersey, presented by AdvoCare, (which will FINALLY be unveiled in a few days at Cocktails & Cleats) and by the "This is Our House" chants that can be heard from our Supporters at every FCD match at Toyota Stadium.
*FACT : In the time it took you to read this blog post, 12 of these scarves have been sold. Avoid sadness and BUY NOW!
*Unverifiable fact
Along with the new and exciting young players added to the roster in 2014, FCD is adding a number of new and fun features to our game presentation at Toyota Stadium this season and one of those will be well-known local DJ's The LHK.
Some of the best-known DJ's in DFW, The LHK's "Club Kiss" sets can be heard nightly on 106.1 KISS FM as well as their three-hour show on Saturday nights. At every home game in 2014, DJ's Spin, IvyTron and Inzo's creative and interactive sets will be a staple of Lamar's Tailgate starting 90 minutes before kickoff when the gates open at Toyota Stadium. The LHK will also be DJ'ing our Friday night happy hour at Burger Girl Grill as part of FCD Week.
The LHK are huge FC Dallas fans so don't miss their big opening night set when all three members of The LHK will be at Lamar's Tailgate!

As heard on 106.1 KISS FM, The LHK with DJ's Spin, IvyTron & Inzo will keep the celebration going while fans can play at the FIFA 14 gaming station as well as win a variety of raffle prizes including autographed gear & FC Dallas tickets!
Day three of FCD Week will see the FC Dallas Tour travel to some of our partners around Frisco with the FC Dallas Girls and Tex Hooper to help FC Dallas fans prepare for Saturday's home opener!

Former Evergreen High music teacher William Eisenman, on trial for 13 sexual assault counts involving sexual relations with two students, was found guilty June 24 of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.
He also was convicted of providing alcohol to a minor but was acquitted of one count of unlawful sexual contact. He faces a mandatory prison term of eight to 24 years in prison, and possibly life behind bars. A sentencing date had yet to be set.
The verdict came hours after Eisenman, 33, was painted by a prosecutor as a manipulative predator who lured two female students into having sex with him.
The characterization came in closing arguments during Eisenman's trial in Jefferson County District Court. Deputy District Attorney Dana Easter also charged that Eisenman falsely claimed to be dying of a heart condition to get the girls to have sex with him.
Lee Harrell, Eisenman's lead defense attorney, said in his closing that although the former band teacher at Evergreen's high school and middle school did have "inappropriate" relationships with two students, crimes were never committed. Harrell dismissed as "fantasy" claims that Eisenman and a then-16-year-old girl had an ongoing sexual relationship.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office began investigating Eisenman in the spring of 2007 after two female EHS students lodged separate sexual assault accusations against him.
One of the girls alleged that Eisenman came to her hotel room, where they kissed and he touched her breast. That girl was 18 at the time of the incident, so the charge in that case relates to her being unwilling to participate in the sexual contact.
The other girl, 16 at the time, alleged that she and Eisenman had a sexual relationship between March 2, 2007, and May 18, 2007, that included sex in hotels, EHS' band office, orchestra pit, uniform room, at an all-state band competition, and at his home. One of the incidents allegedly involved not only Eisenman but a man he met on the Internet, according to the girl.
"You all have had to listen to some very depraved testimony," Easter said. "I would like to rest those things right where they belong," she added, pointing to a calm Eisenman at the defense table. "That is the man that told her she had to do those things because he was dying."
Easter painted a picture of a student in love with her teacher, and of that teacher using his "amazing power over her" to fulfill his sexual desires.
Harrell opened his closing statement by conceding that Eisenman did have an "inappropriate, unprofessional" relationship with two students.
"Perhaps he shouldn't teach again," Harrell said, adding that the case was not about morality or "deviant sexual behavior," but rather was "to decide whether or not the evidence has proven each and every element of every charge beyond a reasonable doubt."
Neither of the relationships was criminal, Harrell maintained, citing the 18-year-old, who said her experience with Eisenman was "exciting" and "no big deal."
Harrell said that the then-16-year-old created a "fantasy" world in which she and Eisenman would remain in contact for years, the result of an emotionally vulnerable girl who was having a hard time dealing with multiple breakups with the same boyfriend.
He also said that it was remarkable none of the girl's friends or family knew about the relationship, even though she had many close band friends and a very close family.
Eisenman was hired as a Jeffco Public Schools teacher in August 2006 and was put on paid administrative leave on May 2 of last year.

Ho Yay: Friends
Chandler and Joey
- There have been more marriage/romance/infidelity metaphors surrounding Chandler and Joey's relationship as roommates than is possible to count.
- They share a bed in The One with the Boobies.
- On New Year's Eve, Chandler is upset having no one to kiss at mid night and Joey kisses him.
- They raise a chick and a duck together, and act like parents to them.
- In one episode, Rachel has a sex dream involving a threesome with Chandler and Joey and she notes that at some of the points, she was merely a spectator watching the two of them getting busy.
- In "The One With The Baby On The Bus" they are tending to Rosss baby. A woman mistakes them for a gay couple. They later pretend to be Ben's fathers at the Transit Authority.
- The mini arc where Joey's decision to move out of their apartment was jokingly played like a romantic breakup, with Eddie being treated like a rebound. Ross even lampshades it slightly when he tells Chandler he can't ask Joey to move back in because they're not "...roommates" anymore.
- Joey tells Chandler they should buy a new table for the apartment and Chandler worries it is "too soon". He starts talking about how things went when he brought furniture with his old roommate Kip, aggravating Joey ("I know all about Kip!"), who later asks Chandler if Kip was "better than me".
- In one episode they discuss the possibility of a threesome with Chloe the copy girl.
- In "The One Where No One's Ready", Joey sits on Chandler's chair. In an attempt to regain possession of his seat, Chandler sits on Joey's lap and says "I'm soooo comfortable". And Joey says "Me too. In fact, I think I might be a little too comfortable".
- In "TOW Joey's New Girlfriend", Kathy affectionately complains that Joey's chosen scenes with her were all make out sessions, and Chandler jokes that's a good thing, because he used to have to be the one rehearsing said scenes with Joey.
- The Ho Yay between Joey and Chandler even continue in the later seasons. In "The One With The Joke":
Rachel: If one of you had to pick one of the other two guys to go out with, who would you pick?Ross: No way.Joey: Im not answering that.Chandler: Joey! (Pause as they all stare at him.) No way. Im not answering that.
- At the end of "The One With Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.", they start hugging. Follows the final set of flashbacks that feature a lot of scenes between Chandler and Joey. Theres no words, just hugs and even the kiss from "The One With The Monkey". All of this is set to the song "Youve Really Got a Hold on Me!". Cut back to the present, they are still in each others embrace.
Joey: Hey, do we do this too much?Chandler: I think so. Yeah, get off me.
- In the What Could Have Been episode in season 6, where Joey hires Chandler (now a struggling comedy writer) to be his assistant. And then there's this line:
Joey: (to Chandler) Hey, go take off those pants, they look ready!
- In "The One Where Rachel Is Late", Joey only has one ticket to his big movie premiere. The others argue over who should get it, but Joey says he wants Chandler to come as a way of paying him back for his support over the years.
Chandler: I always knew you were gonna make it. Im so proud of you.Joey: Thanks. That means a lot to me. (They look at each other and smile for a while.)Phoebe: Mon, maybe one of these guys wants to wear your dress.
- Chandler agrees to move to Tulsa. At the end of the episode he is at the airport on the phone cell (presumably with Monica).
Chandler: Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. Yes it will be the same. Because I know, that's how. I promise.
Joey: (On the phone with Chandler) Double promise? Call me when you land.
- CUT TO: Monica and Chandler's apartment.
- In "The One With Ross' Inappropriate Song", the listing agent at Richard's apartment mistakes them for a gay couple.
Chandler: No, no, no, no, no, NO! No, no... we're not together. We're not a couple. We're definitely not a couple.Joey: Well, you seem pretty insulted by that. What? I'm not good enough for you?Chandler: We're not gonna have this conversation again...
- In "The One where Monica sings", Chandler plucked Joey's eyebrows and curled his eyelashes.
- In "The One With Ross' Tan", Joey is talking about his first night with Rachel.
Joey: No, I do six things! First, I look deep in her eyes. Then, I kiss her. Next I take my hand and I softly graze her thigh.Chandler: You mean like this? (he starts touching his thigh in a funny and awkard way)Joey: NO! Not like that, no no. No, like this. (He starts lightly grazing Chandler's thigh)Chandler: Oh, I see what you mean, that's quite nice. (They look at each other, both embarassed)Joey: More foosball?Chandler: ...and beer!!
- In The One With The Blind Dates, Joey can for some reason tell from Chandler's hair when he's been having sex, and also tells him to be on top for once.
- It's worth noting that the producers have stated that aside from Ross/Rachel and Chandler/Monica, this is the most important relationship in the show.
- Two words: Nap Partners. The whole episode.
- Ross gave Joey a passionate kiss when he needed to audition for a role that involved having to kiss another man. Joey remarked that Rachel was a lucky woman.
- Ross asks Joey for advice on how to "talk dirty" to women. While they are practicing "talking dirty" to each other, Chandler walks in.
Chandler: It's OK. It's OK. I was always rooting for you two kids to get together.
- The entire episode where they get stuck on the roof and have to climb down the fire escape.
Ross: Now should I climb down your front so were face to face or should I climb down your back so were butt to face.
- In "TOW the Tape" Joey attempts to help Ross out during his dry spell by telling him a passionate story that's guaranteed to make the listener want to have sex, and warns Ross that by the end he'll want to do so to Joey. Ross thinks it's a joke at first, but eventually finds himself caught up as Joey goes on.
- They get quite a few moments particularly when the Girl-on-Girl Is Hot trope is used (see page for details).
- In "The One with Joey's Big Break", Rachel is afraid to take her eye drops, and Monica tries to force her, and ends up straddling her and pinning her arms down. Rachel says: "You know, if Joey and Chandler walked in right now, we could make a fortune!"
- In another episode Rachel and Monica made a deal with the guys that they would kiss each other for one minute if they could get their apartment back. The deal was accepted.
- In "The One with the Chick and the Duck", Monica slams into Rachel when she practices roller skating, knocks her down and falls on top of her. When Joey sees them, with Rachel moaning (in pain), he says: "Oh, my!"
- They have had break-up moments, the most hilarious one being when Monica was spending time with Ross's new girlfriend Julie and Rachel confronted her about it. The conversation sounded like two lovers having a quarrel over cheating.
- Phoebe was shown to have Les Yay tendencies in "The One with Ross And Monica's Cousin" where she ends up starring longingly at Cassie and she even thinks "Ask her out! She's not your cousin!"
- She said Monica had "the breasts of a Greek goddess" with a longing look on her face.
- "The One With Rachel's Big Kiss": Rachel's old friend Melissa tells her she's still in love with her and asks for another kiss goodbye. Once she leaves, Phoebe kisses Rachel. She tells a stunned Rachel that she "just wanted to see what all the fuss was about". After Rachel asks "And?", Phoebe says "I've had better".
- She admitted to seeing Monica naked at least once. When Monica asks when this happened, Phoebe suddenly goes very quiet.
- After seeing Monica in a revealing slips, she zones out thinking about it while talking to Chandler.
- When Monica agrees that Phoebe can massage her, it turns out that she likes her massages very much. So much, that she starts making sex noises.
- Chandler tells Ross, "I'd miss you if I broke up with you." Ross asks why he said that, and Chandler says he's just trying to be supportive. Ross says, "Well, be supportive like a guy."
- In "The One With Barbados", Chandler tries to kiss Ross so he can stop being mad about his computer being ruined. And in "TOW Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister", he apologizes to Monica, Rachel and Ross for apparently making out with all three of them when he's been drinking.
- In The One Where Nana Dies Twice, even though Chandler complains loads about having a gay quality, he still thinks a couple of guy coworkers are cute and gets upset when a woman thinks Brian is out of his league.
- Chandler has a couple of moments in "The One with Rachel's Assistant": he shows attraction to Rachel's co-worker Tag after he looks at his picture ("W-H-Wow! Dont show this to Monica! And dont tell her about the W-H-Wow!"). And later when Chandler, Ross and Monica are revealing embarrassing secrets about each other, like when Chandler kissed a guy ("In my defense, it was dark and he was a very pretty guy").
- In "The One With the Rumor" upon seeing how much weight his old high school friend Will lost, Ross compliments him by calling him "hot stuff!"

Swim Report – September 19, 2015 – Late Summer Swells
Marton, Tony, and I made it out to L1 yesterday morning at 6:30am. Given the storms from the night before and the 15mph to 20mph winds gusts, I wasn't expecting the lake conditions to be ideal. But they were far better than we had expected!
The lake temperature came in at 61.8F – significantly higher than the air. And while we had some pretty strong sustained winds, the swells were not as intense as last week. So I opted for just my swim jammers and thermo cap and was fine with that setup throughout the swim.
It was a bit brisk upon entry, but we acclimated quickly once we were out of the wind. We swam half the distance to Oak Street Beach before turning back – about 1/2 mile total – and we definitely got a vigorous workout in the 3 to 5 foot swells.
The sun finally peeked out from behind the wall of clouds just as we were getting ready to leave. It would have been nice to have had this during our swim, but we take whatever Ma Nature throws at us.
That's what makes us Lake Monsters.
A newly painted L1 – thanks to Diver Dave!

"The long-term results described in this publication reflect years of technical and clinical development in collaboration with the IMT002 Study Group investigators," said Allen W. Hill, CEO of VisionCare. "We are pleased the safety and efficacy results of our pivotal clinical trial have been reported in highly regarded scientific journals like the AJO. VisionCare looks forward to successfully completing the U.S. regulatory review process."
The results are published in the November 2008 issue of the AJO and available on-line at the journal's web site http://www.ajo.com/current.

About the Telescope Device
The investigational Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT(TM) by Dr. Isaac Lipshitz) is designed to be a solution for moderate to profound vision loss due to advanced, end-stage forms of AMD that have no current surgical or medical treatment options. Smaller than a pea, the telescope prosthetic device is implanted in one eye in an outpatient surgical procedure. In the implanted eye, the device renders enlarged central vision images over a wide area of the retina to improve central vision, while the non-operated eye provides peripheral vision for mobility and orientation.
The prospective, multicenter IMT002 Phase II/III trial was designed to
evaluate the safety and efficacy of VisionCare's investigational medical
device in individuals with moderate to profound bilateral central vision
impairment associated with End-Stage AMD. A Premarket Approval (PMA)
application and subsequent PMA amendments have been submitted to the U.S.

Happy October! It's time for pumpkins, football, falling leaves, and layered clothes. Of course that can depend a lot on where you live (we love our international readers too). But at least we all have one thing in common -- we can be excited about our new amazing patterns this week at CKC! There is so much cuteness going on, and even an extra big sale to top it all off. Let's take a look!
New Releases
We have three new sailor-themed outfits available and on sale for 30% off! If you think your little guy is adorable now, just wait until he sets sail in his new Baby Jonah's Sailor Outfit! This one-piece romper has two sleeve options (short/long) and two length options (shorts/pants), making it perfect for year-round play! There are snaps on the legs for easy diaper changes, plus the whole outfit is simple to get on and off with a neck placket that opens wide and then closes with just one snap. Our favorite feature, of course, is its adorable sailor collar that is fully attached with an enclosed seam and instructions for ribbon embellishment, if you choose. Then top it all off with the included slim tie and our video for tying a perfect sailor knot. You and your little guy are going to love Baby Jonah's, whether in traditional colors or playful fabrics; for dress up or every day play! Fits sizes newborn to 18/24 months.

So, back to the CouponFridge site. If you go to the main page and type "Dallas" into the search, then click "View Coupons" you'll see at least one coupon come up on the sub-page. You will also see tabs appear at the top for categories like, "Auto & Transportation," "Entertainment & Electronics," and so on. But, if you click on one of those it only shows you that entire category.
My question is, how can I make it so that once you search for a city, such as "Dallas," and then click on a tab, such as "Restaurants & Delivery," that it will only show the things posted in the restaurant & delivery category WITHIN that search?
If that's not clear please ask questions.

After taking care of your family and friends, please consider a gift bequest to Kidney Health Australia in your Will.
Every gift, no matter how large or small, has an ongoing and enormous impact on our ability to plan our programs for the long term.
Kidney Health Australia has given a long term commitment to families and children affected by kidney disease, but the biggest challenge remains for us to reach those two million Australians who do not know they have early kidney damage.
Our Mission Vision and Values sets out our focus to promote good kidney health through education, advocacy, research and support, to save and improve the lives of many Australians affected by kidney disease. We also present an outline of some of our Kidney Health Programs for your information.
You may prefer to simply call Susan Sayer, our National Development Manager on 03 9674 4302. Susan would be delighted to speak with you personally about our work.
If you would like further information on including a gift in your Will

I have 9 mercury fillings. I had 7 when I conceived baby #1 ... got a filling after having her. Had 8 when I conceived baby #2 and got one more filling after her. Both kids are healthy and developing normally.
I am now fully aware that mercury fillings are something to avoid and something I should have removed when possible...
I'd like to have one more baby... do you think these fillings would cause harm if I got pregnant again?
How many of you have several fillings and healthy babies?
Obviously mercury is toxic, but sometimes I think dentists push fear on people so they fork over the money to have them removed. I'm sure a lot of women have a lot of fillings and have had healthy pregnancies....
It doesn't keep me from worrying!
My holistic doc said not to rush into getting them removed, but take the approach of replacing them with safe materials when needed.

Don't listen to a word FunnyHunnyBunny10 says, she's just your typical sexist female. Now as for him being interested, I think he is. He sounds very shy, too shy perhaps, but you can fix it. You just need to give him a nudge. You don't need to make another move, but you just need to ask him straight forward, "Are you going to call or text me?" You can think up of a way that sounds nice or more polite, but something around those lines. Depending on what he says you'll find out the mystery of whether he's interested or not.
Good luck.

Multiple Symbol Differential Detection for UWB Communications
Download Now
Date Added: Jun 2010
Format: PDF
Multiple Symbol Differential Detection (MSDD) offers high-performance symbol recovery and bypasses training or channel estimation, which are highly desired features in low-power Ultra-WideBand (UWB) communications. However, UWB impulse radios entail distinct signaling structures and stringent performance-complexity requirements, giving rise to the need for a new MSDD scheme capable of coping with dense multipath UWB channels and detecting a large block of symbols at practical complexity. To this end, this paper develops a novel MSDD-based UWB receiver that attains the desired performance advantages by jointly detecting blocks of received symbols based on the autocorrelation principle.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Because starting a small business is not only a huge financial risk but also a complete lifestyle change, anyone who wants to be his or her own boss needs to approach entrepreneurship thoughtfully and with careful planning. That's why there is no better resource than The Wall Street Journal Complete Small Business Guidebook, a practical guide for turning your entrepreneurial dreams into a successful company, from America's most trusted source of financial advice. It answers would-be business owners' biggest question—how do I fund my venture?—then explains the mechanics of building, running and growing a profitable business. You'll learn:
• How to write a winning business plan
• Secrets to finding extra money during the lean years and beyond
• Ways to keep your stress in check while maintaining a work/life balance
• How to manage your time, including taking vacations and dealing
with sick days
• Strategies for keeping your business running smoothly—from investing
in technology to hiring the right people
• Marketing and management basics
• When angel investors or venture capital might be an appropriate way
to grow
• How to execute your exit strategy
Running the show may not always be easy, but the rewards can be tremendous. You may be on the job 24/7, but you have the freedom to call the shots, to hire whomever you want, to work when you want and to take your business as far as you want to go.
The country's most-trusted source for financial information offers business and lifestyle strategies that can help turn small-business dreams into sustainable successes.
Another shot to the guts from a guy who should have started writing these barnburners a long time ago....Berkowitz doesn't miss a step as he weaves together malevolent fire and icy retribution in a story that shows violence beginning at home. What makes the series exceptional is Jackson's old-school nose for detection and Berkowitz's stylish straightforwardness, which make the books seem inventive and retro at the same time.--Kirkus
Berkowitz's brisk style is a perfect fit for this violent world of killers, scam artists, crooked politicians and the downtrodden of all sorts. There are no white knights, no storybook endings for Berkowitz, just vivid, ragged slashes of life. --Publishers Weekly
From the Trade Paperback edition.

My dad had already earned the sticker proclaiming "This car climbed Mt. Washington" on a previous trip, but he wanted to get back to the top to share the experience with Tuukka the puppy, and myself.

Once the pleasantries were exchanged we were off and up the mountain, traveling on a road that at times could ...
When exactly does a walk become a hike?
Leaving Portland with our haul of seafood, we headed to New Hampshire, our last stop before hitting Canada. Until now the drives haven't been that spectacular, but heading through the countryside into New Hampshire and towards the White Mountains, it jumped up a notch.
